Paris, March 20, 2025, 4:00 PM PDT – Faouzi Annajah, CEO and founder of NamX, announced on X a new podcast and video series titled “5 Minutes in the Matrix,” offering an exclusive, insider’s look into the cutthroat automotive industry. In a tweet posted at 3:00 PM local time, Annajah invited followers to join him bi-monthly for five-minute episodes, available on LinkedIn, X, and Instagram starting April 3, 2025, as reported by Automotive News Europe and shared on X by @AnnajahFaouzi.
What to Expect from “5 Minutes in the Matrix”
Annajah, a veteran entrepreneur in the automotive sector, plans to tackle pressing topics shaping the industry, including IPOs, fundraising, patents, vehicle development, and debunking misinformation about NamX, his hydrogen-powered vehicle startup, per the tweet. He emphasized the high stakes of launching a new automaker, noting, “Developing a new car manufacturer involves over 600 strategic decisions with short-, medium-, and long-term impacts. It’s a chess game where you can afford less than 7% error across the entire process to deliver a market-ready product.”
The series will explore the global dynamics of the automotive industry, focusing on key players like France, Morocco, the USA, Saudi Arabia, China, Germany, Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan, which Annajah identifies as pivotal in determining tomorrow’s leaders or followers, as detailed on namx.how.

Web results, like www.automotiveworld.com (March 2025), highlight NamX’s partnership with Pininfarina and its focus on sustainable innovation.
